![]() Up next are two unnamed generic rebels – the one on the left is the Rebel Fleet Trooper while the one on the right is a Rebel Crew. It is a shame these figures do not feature the arm printing and dual-moulded legs that were part of Luke Skywalker’s minifigure flight suit in 75355, but that might be too much to ask for. The helmet prints certainly look good, and it is always nice to get new Star Wars helmet designs in LEGO – this is Red Leader’s first minifigure appearance. Next up are R ebel Pilots Garven Dreis and Jon Vander, dubbed “Red Leader” and “Gold Leader” respectively.īoth feature printed flight suits and the same double-sided head print, with only their helmet prints differentiating them. It’s a shame that they didn’t include the C-3PO from 75341 UCS Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder. In fact, C-3PO is the only figure in this set to feature arm printing! Unfortunately no dual-moulding for his right leg, so the silver printing looks slightly awkward. Chewbacca is unchanged since 2015, but still looks alright and wields his stud-launching crossbow.Ĭ-3PO is also not new, as this figure first appeared in 75339, but still has a good level of detail across. These figures both have alternate head prints, and Leia even has printing on the back of her dress piece! Neither minifigure is really new, although Leia does use this ponytailed hairpiece for the first time – repurposed from the Episode I Padme in 75258.ĭodonna makes a reappearance from set 75301, but is a fitting inclusion here. Next up is Princess Leia and General Dodonna. And yes, a spare third medal is included.īoth figures are pretty good overall, Han’s inner shirt is buttoned up for the first time, and he uses the double-sided head that previously represented his younger self. Most notably, these figures come with their medals of bravery as a separate printed element, unlike previous variants which had a printed medal. ![]() ![]() Put it all together, and you get the completed Yavin 4 Rebel Base!įirst up we have Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in their celebration outfits. …while bag 11 adds a lookout post and other supplementary side builds. 75365 Yavin 4 Rebel Build Processīags 1 and 2 construct the Y-wing and its boarding staircase, along with the Rebel Pilot and his astromech.īags 3-4 build the left side of the base, along with figures of General Dodonna and Red Leader.īags 5-6 build the center portion and the main base entrance, along with the Chewbacca minifigure.īags 7-8 bring the right-hand side of the base, which uses a similar (but mirrored) design to the section included in bags 3-4.īags 9-10 construct the ceremonial chamber… The translucent-backed sticker sheet only has 9 stickers, which is very reasonable for such a large set, although several of the stickers are quite large. Oddly, the manuals for bags 3-4 and 7-8 use brighter colored paper than the other four manuals. This allows multiple people to build the set as a group-based activity. Inside you’ll find a whopping six instruction manuals, along with the sticker sheet. This one in particular is smaller in size but is noticeably thick. Inside the box are eleven numbered bags, along with a fairly thick instruction manual box.Īs is common in larger sets nowadays, the instruction manuals come packaged in a cardboard holder. The back of the box shows the reverse of the model, displaying its interior and the various play features. ![]() ![]() The front of the box shows the exterior of the Rebel Base, populated by the included minifigures with the Y-wing in flight.
